How to Write F in Cursive
The cursive F looks like a curly ribbon, a big, loopy shape for uppercase and a tall twist for lowercase. It seems fancy, but it’s super easy to write once you know the steps. Let’s learn how to write both big F and small f only!
Lowercase Cursive F
Start with a small line going up to the top. Then curve down past the baseline. Make a tiny loop and bring the line back to the middle. End with a small curve to the right so it can join the next letter.
This letter is tall, so give it space. Think of it like a long cursive s with a line in the middle.
Uppercase Cursive F
Start with a small loop at the top, then bring the line straight down to the baseline. Make a tiny curve at the bottom. Next, draw two short lines, one across the top and one in the middle.
The loops should be wide but not too big. The cross lines make the F easy to read, so keep them straight. This letter is often used in names, so make it clear!
How to Connect Cursive F to Other Letters
Once you start writing the cursive f, the next step is learning how to join it with other letters. A smooth connection makes your writing neat and easy to read.

- f + a / o / c: Let the curve roll into the round shape.
- f + l / h / b: Lift the curve slightly and move into the tall line.
